The artist, Seth Banner drew this amazing art of an unholy union between Angron and a berserker.
Berserkers, especially in the context of Warhammer 40,000, are most commonly associated with the Khorne Berzerkers, elite Chaos Space Marines dedicated to the Blood God, Khorne. These warriors epitomize rage and bloodlust, driven by an insatiable desire for combat and slaughter. Once noble Space Marines, many Berzerkers hail from the traitor legions, particularly the World Eaters, whose Primarch, Angron, became the favored champion of Khorne. Their minds and bodies have been shaped by the influence of Khorne, with many having undergone the brutal implantation of Butcher’s Nails—cybernetic devices that suppress higher thought, leaving them focused solely on violence and bloodshed. In battle, Khorne Berzerkers are whirlwind engines of destruction, charging headlong into combat with chainaxes and brutal weapons, seeking to offer as many skulls to their dark god as possible.
Their combat style reflects their god’s creed: “Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne!” Berzerkers often discard tactics and strategy in favor of sheer ferocity and aggression, overwhelming their enemies with relentless assaults. They are immune to fear and driven to fight to the last breath, often charging into battle with no regard for their own safety. The combination of their genetically enhanced Space Marine physiology and their fanatical devotion makes them terrifying opponents on the battlefield. Even among the ranks of Chaos, Khorne Berzerkers are respected and feared, their very presence heralding death and destruction.
